Kalvin Phillips | Joins City on a 6-year deal

[manimanc]

I’m always believing

We could be Philips lifeline.

 

[ManCitizens.]

Phillips is a full England international, a homegrown player and our PPG halves when he’s out of the team. And you think he’s worth £35-40m which is the same as Oxlade-Chamberlain 5 years ago?

This is how negotiating works, if city are interested we’ll want to bring the fee as low as possible whereas Leeds will want as much as they can.

Just like you don’t want to lose him for a low fee, we don’t want to get ripped off. If there’s no compromise a deal won’t happen.

It’s also pointless bringing other fees into it. We signed Gundogan for 18-20m and he’s twice the player of both Phillips and Ox, it’s completely irrelevant though

Your team is in a lot stronger postion by staying up but not that much you can start demanding £60+m

Why not? We’re demanding that price for Raphinha and if he goes there’s less need to sell.

And he's over rated and over priced also. 25 and had a good half a season. Do you think you will get £60m for him?
Considering you've got two such exceptional players I wonder why you just escaped returning to the championship

The fee your demanding for Raphinha suggests 45-50 million will do it for Phillips if he tells the club he'd like to join City. But ultimately, the fee is irrelevant. Much like Grealish, Phillips is Leeds through and through. When he decides he wants to leave the club and tells the club that, they will respect that decision and ask him to get the asking price.

You have to look at these things from the players' POV. What is going to enhance his reputation - continuing to play for a relegation threatened club with an unproven manager or move to the Champions and play under the best coach on the planet. The answer is obvious.

Can't see any reason he wouldn't be a good fit personality wise.

He does seem a pretty decent person off the pitch.....except for that bloody stupid haircut.

It’s no secret that Leeds were terrible whenever Phillips was injured

Am sure proper trophies as well is what he will be looking at? Leeds are going to be lucky if they stay up again next season let alone win anything?!

Grealish, Haaland and Foden. Haircut FC.
Edit. And possibly Cucurella :-)
